Biography

Abraham's Ph.D. research developed scalable algorithms for providing safety guarantees for stochastic, control-constrained, dynamical systems. His research work has been applied in motion planning under uncertainty, spacecraft rendezvous planning, and human-automation interactions. His current research interests lie in the intersection of optimization, control, and learning. Abraham won the Best Student Paper Award at the 2017 ACM Hybrid Systems: Computation and Control Conference, was a finalist for the Best Paper Award in the 2018 ACM Hybrid Systems: Computation and Control Conference, and won the best undergraduate student research project award at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras.

- TALK [MERL Seminar Series 2022] Prof. Ufuk Topcu presents talk titled Autonomous systems in the intersection of formal methods, learning, and control
  Date & Time: Wednesday, October 26, 2022; 1:00 PM
  Speaker: Ufuk Topcu, The University of Texas at Austin
  MERL Host: Abraham P. Vinod
  Research Areas: Control, Dynamical Systems, Optimization
  Abstract
  - Autonomous systems are emerging as a driving technology for countlessly many applications. Numerous disciplines tackle the challenges toward making these systems trustworthy, adaptable, user-friendly, and economical. On the other hand, the existing disciplinary boundaries delay and possibly even obstruct progress. I argue that the nonconventional problems that arise in designing and verifying autonomous systems require hybrid solutions in the intersection of learning, formal methods, and controls. I will present examples of such hybrid solutions in the context of learning in sequential decision-making processes. These results offer novel means for effectively integrating physics-based, contextual, or structural prior knowledge into data-driven learning algorithms. They improve data efficiency by several orders of magnitude and generalizability to environments and tasks that the system had not experienced previously.
